Not enough

Not enough

Sometimes you just have to try, right?  i knitted a baby hat and a pair of baby mitts from one skein of ShiBui sock yarn.  I wondered if I had enough to make booties too.

So I started knitting.  Ripped back one pattern, because it was using too much yarn.  Picked another pattern.  I ran out of yarn with only 4 rows to go. Before I started using on the little ball to the left, I thought I'd weigh the almost finished bootie and compare it to the little ball.  The bootie weighed 11 grams.  The little ball?  4 grams. 

Oh well, no booties.  Moving along to the next item in my knitting queue now.

Sometimes you just have to cut and run.

I love that yarn. I bet the hat was really cute!
